BDHS Student Scholarships

Students of the Beaver Dam Unified School District are fortunate to have two separate scholarship organizations that provide awards each year.  The Beaver Dam High School Scholarship Committee is organized by the Beaver Dam Unified School District.  The Beaver Dam Scholarship Foundation, Inc. was founded by Beaver Dam community members.

Beaver Dam High School Scholarship Committee

Organized in 1949, the Committee’s goal is to award local 2 and 4-year college and career/technical scholarships.  There are approximately 60 local donors who provide funds for scholarships to graduating seniors through the BDHS Scholarship Committee.  Scholarship applications are available after first semester and due in early March.  Scholarships are awarded in the spring of each school year.  Click here for more information.

Beaver Dam Scholarship Foundation

The Beaver Dam Scholarship Foundation was created in 1991 and their mission is to help the young people of the Beaver Dam community reach their maximum potential, thereby creating a future generation of enlightened thinkers and inspired achievers to lead our community.  Please visit the Beaver Dam Scholarship Foundation website for more information.

Outside Scholarships

Scholarships are given by many county, state, and national organizations, foundations, corporations, and government agencies.  Scholarships are awarded based on criteria such as academic or athletic achievement, cultural or religious background, or special skills and talents.  As these scholarships become available, we will add them to the Scholarship Database.  We recommend that you review the database on a regular basis and even moreso in January, February and March.  If you have any questions, please see your school counselor.
